Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

nice stick man, should be a straight shooter
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

now im just waiting for you to get back and show me how to shoot this thing
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

two other cheap things that i like are the gas buster charging handle lever (just the lever, you don't need the whole handle). I also like tear drop forward assists but thats my preference.

Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Blackwater makes lowers? That rollmark is awesome..
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Great build you have there. Where did you get the BW at? I am in the process of my build now of collecting all the parts.
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

My good buddy works at us training center San Diego. He told me
About the special lowers. Call up backwater pro shop and speak with Amy. They look sick.
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Thanks for the info. How difficult did you find it to assemble this? Any special tools you needed or was it pretty cut and dry?
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Try 24-25 gr of N140 with the 77s
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

just a multi tool and a mag block for the vice.. you should be good

would you happen to have dope for your load? what is your accurate load with the vv n-140
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

<span style="text-decoration: underline">Here is my load:</span>

77gr. Sierra Matchking
24.4gr. <span style="font-weight: bold">VV N-140</span>
Winchester Brass
Fed. GMM 205M Primer
OAL- 2.255"

Shoots very well for me out of a 18" WOA 1-7 Twist Barrel.

Varget and Win748 shoot a tad better for me than N-140.
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

what is the point of the small band behind the muzzle break infront of the gas block?

Its the collar for the Ops Inc suppressor. The brake has a threaded portion under a protector for the can to attach to.
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Nice build! One day I'll have the same barrel that you do; I'm sure it will shoot.

Quick question, would you mic the barrel on the part right in front of the OPS Inc collar? I'm trying to have a barrel contoured right now for a 12th model, and I don't have the specs. I know the gas block is .750", but don't know what size the collar shoulder steps down to.
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Nice SPR for sure.

Off topic, but I know a Zach in cali from Guam that's a MMA fighter... Weird... Small world?
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Ctone: its .725", and your right the gas block is .750"

the caliper I am using is from harbor freight, so I dont know if you want to trust it..
 
Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

Thank you much! I was guessing at .725", but it seems only a handful of manufacturers know for sure. The SPR profile that is set up for the OPS Inc 12th has that shoulder for the collar, and the information is proprietary from what I've been told by OPS. When you tell a barrel maker that you want a SPR contour and they have no idea, they want you to draw the specs. I have what I need now.

Thanks again!
